Suggested Fixes​

  • In the Insomnia application, select the OAuth 2 section from your request, then ensure that the ACCESS TOKEN URL property is set to a valid absolute URL. Save and export your Insomnia file again.
  • Choose a different GRANT TYPE from the dropdown in the OAuth 2 section if the current URL is not applicable for your API authentication.
  • Add missing accessTokenUrl property in the request authentication object of your Insomnia Export format file.
  • Make sure that the accessTokenUrl property in the request authentication object of your Insomnia Export format file is not empty and is a valid absolute URL.
  • Choose a different grantType in the authentication object of the Insomnia Export file request if the current URL is not applicable for your API authentication.
